Thorough redaction

Post by chrisjj »

The regular redaction:

(link to workaround forum upload fail: [url]https://i.imgur.com/mOj8m0U.png[/url] )

still reveals info by the shape.

How can I redact that block as one rectangle?

Thanks.

Hello, chrisjj

If you hold Shift while placing redaction, you can, use it in "exclusive mode" which prevents text selection (allowing you to place a rectangle area instead). This is also the default if you simply click to begin placing the redaction area far enough away that text is not selected.
